Charleston County Councilwoman and small business owner Jenny Costa Honeycutt is one step closer to winning a ticket to Congress and succeeding nationally known GOP Rep. Nancy Mace.

Honeycutt defeated state Rep. Mark Smith to win the Republican runoff in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

Mace, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump who’s had a turbulent relationship with the president during her six years in the U.S. House, unsuccessfully ran for governor rather than seek re-election this year.

Honeycutt and Smith, who previously served as a member of the Mount Pleasant Town Council, finished atop a very crowded field of candidates in the GOP primary earlier this month.

But with no one topping 50%, Honeycutt and Smith, as the top two finishers, advanced to Tuesday’s runoff.

The 1st Congressional District, which covers much of South Carolina’s coastal region, has been held by Republicans for four and a half decades, other than a two-year interlude when Democrats briefly captured the seat during the 2018 blue wave election.

Among the Republicans who once held the seat are now-Sen. Tim Scott and former Gov. Mark Sanford.

Honeycutt, who describes herself as an “unapologetic conservative,” will face the winner of the Democratic runoff between Mac Deford, an attorney, and retired Coast Guard Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore.

While Honeycutt will be considered the favorite in the general election, the Cook Political Report, a top nonpartisan election handicapper, recently shifted its rating of the race from “Solid Republican” to “Likely Republican.”

美国参议院通过决议 制衡特朗普发动战争权力

2026年6月24日 08:04 / 联合早报

美国参议院6月23日以50票赞成、48票反对的投票结果通过了《战争权力法案》。这项法案6月初已在众议院通过。 （路透社）

美国少数共和党参议员与民主党人联手，通过了一项旨在制衡总统特朗普发动战争权力，要求特朗普结束对伊朗的军事行动，或在继续军事行动前寻求国会授权的法案。

综合路透社和《纽约时报》报道，美国参议院星期二（6月23日）以50票赞成、48票反对的投票结果，通过了《战争权力法案》。这项法案6月初已在众议院通过。

这是自1973年美国《战争权力决议》（通常称为战争权力法）颁布以来，国会两院首次通过此类战争权力法案，要求总统从海外军事行动撤回美军。这反映出，不受美国人欢迎的伊朗战争令一些共和党人越来越感到担忧。

尽管此次投票大体上只具有象征意义，但对特朗普来说仍是一次挫败。此前，国会共和党人几乎一面倒地全力挺特朗普。

一名白宫官员23日说，参议院的表决毫无意义，因为这项法案不会送交特朗普签署。白宫坚持认为，《战争权力法案》违反宪法，因此不具有法律约束力。

法律专家指国会决议的法律效力仍存在争议，最终可能需要由法院作出裁决。

AOC cruises to primary victory as speculation swirls about political future

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez easily beat back a Democratic primary challenge Tuesday from a former Wall Street executive who argued the progressive firebrand had become more focused on national politics than the needs of her New York district.

Marty Dolan sought to unseat Ocasio-Cortez in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which includes jurisdictions in Queens and the Bronx, after serving there for four terms.

But after the biggest U.S. city elected a socialist mayor in Zohran Mamdani in the last election, the Democrat making a more moderate bid didn’t stand a chance against the progressive incumbent.

Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most prominent figures on the left who’s been pegged as a potential future contender for higher office, entered the race with overwhelming advantages, including a massive fundraising edge and strong name recognition.

The victory marks another decisive win for the congresswoman, who first burst onto the national stage in 2018 after toppling then-House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley in a stunning primary upset.

Dolan’s challenge came as Ocasio-Cortez’s influence within the Democratic Party continues to grow. The New York Democrat has become a leading voice for progressives in Congress and a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and Republican policies.

Despite criticism from some Democrats who argue the party has drifted too far left, AOC — frequently referred to by her initials — remains a dominant force in her deep-blue district, where challengers have repeatedly failed to gain significant traction.

The victory comes as Ocasio-Cortez’s national profile continues to grow and speculation swirls about whether the progressive lawmaker could seek higher office.

Asked in June by Fox News Digital if she might run for president in 2028, she declined to rule it out.

“Could I be president? Could I not be president? Maybe, maybe not,” she replied coyly.

The comments fueled speculation that Ocasio-Cortez could emerge as a contender in what is expected to be a crowded Democratic presidential field when Trump’s second term ending.

Other Democrats frequently mentioned as possible 2028 candidates include California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

FIRST ON FOX:Donald Trump will host farmers, ranchers, cattlemen and agricultural producers from across the country for dinner at the White House on Thursday, a White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital, as the administration looks to spotlight an industry that has long been a cornerstone of both the U.S. economy and the president’s political base.

The Rose Garden feast comes as the White House seeks to highlight Trump’s America First trade agenda, which officials argue is creating new opportunities for farmers in the U.S. through expanded market access and reduced trade barriers.

The event underscores the administration’s effort to strengthen ties with rural America while making the case that Trump’s trade, tax and regulatory policies are delivering tangible benefits for farmers. It also underscores how significant these economic issues are for voters in the 2026 midterm elections.

Thursday’s gathering will coincide with the first day of the Great American State Fair kicking off on the National Mall this week to celebrate the 250th Independence Day.

The dinner also follows several recent agriculture-focused events involving the president, including remarks during National Agriculture Week at the White House in March, a visit with farmers in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, earlier this month and a roundtable discussion with producers and Cabinet officials in December.

Attendees are expected to include farmers from more than a dozen states, along with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service Administrator Mehmet Oz and lawmakers from major agricultural states.

“President Trump is proud to host American farmers from across the nation at the White House on Thursday,” White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital. “There is no greater champion for American farmers, growers and ranchers than President Trump.”

Thursday’s dinner menu will feature fresh produce from the White House Kitchen Garden and honey from the White House Beehive, according to a Trump official.

SMART POLICY AND CHEAPER EGGS: TRUMP-ROLLINS TEAM GOOD FOR FARMERS AND US CONSUMERS

Agriculture has long been a key component of the U.S. economy and a major driver of exports, with farmers relying on foreign markets to purchase everything from grains and oilseeds to meat and dairy products. Access to those markets often plays a significant role in determining farm profitability, making trade policy a major issue for producers and rural communities.

The White House says Trump’s trade policies have expanded access to more than 2 billion consumers worldwide, with countries including Japan, the United Kingdom, India, Taiwan, Vietnam and several others reducing or eliminating tariffs on U.S. agricultural exports.

Administration officials say food and agricultural exports rose by double digits in 2025.

The administration is also highlighting $12 billion in bridge payments for farmers during trade negotiations, arguing the assistance helped agricultural producers weather the transition as new trade agreements were pursued.

In addition to trade, the administration has emphasized tax policies designed to benefit rural communities and family-owned farms.

White House officials say the president’s Working Families Tax Cuts package allows producers to fully expense farm equipment and structures, expands deductions tied to rural economic activity and increases the federal estate and gift tax exemption to $15 million.

The estate tax issue has long been a priority for many farm organizations, which argue that taxes on inherited land can make it more difficult for family farms to pass from one generation to the next without selling acreage or other assets.

For the White House, Thursday’s dinner is as much about policy as politics. Rural counties were a critical component of Trump’s electoral coalition and administration officials have increasingly pointed to trade, tax and regulatory reforms as evidence that the president is delivering on promises made to farmers and agricultural communities during his reelection campaign.

Washington Wizards select AJ Dybantsa No. 1 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft

Updated on: June 23, 2026 / 10:25 PM EDT / CBS/AP

In what is considered one of the most talented classes in recent memory, the Washington Wizards selected BYU small forward AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick of the NBA Draft.

Heading into Tuesday’s draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Wizards were believed to be deciding between Dybantsa and Kansas phenom combo guard Darryn Peterson. The Utah Jazz then took Peterson at No. 2.

The Memphis Grizzlies selected Duke forward Cameron Boozer at No. 3. Boozer is following in the footsteps of his famous father, Carlos Boozer, who also played at Duke before a successful NBA career.

At No. 4, the Chicago Bulls chose North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson.

Dybantsa appeared to say a quick prayer after his name was announced, then went on stage to greet Commissioner Adam Silver and slipped on a black Wizards hat that matched nicely with his black suit. He will join a Wizards team that has struggled to find its footing in recent years, making only one playoff appearance in the last eight seasons due to a series of misfires on the roster front.

But the Wizards will be looking for a fresh start with a team built around Dybantsa, star point guard Trae Young — who agreed to a four-year, $212 million deal earlier this week — and big man Anthony Davis, who the Wizards traded for in February.

Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points last season at BYU, highlighted by a 43-point effort that broke BYU’s freshman scoring record. At 6-foot-9 and 217 pounds, Dybantsa has drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant, who happens to be his favorite player. Durant grew up in the Washington area.

The Wizards desperately need Dybantsa to prove he can make them contenders in a competitive Eastern Conference that just saw the New York Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years, and then saw superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat.

The last time the Wizards had the No. 1 overall pick was in 2010, when they took point guard John Wall. The five-time All-Star had a solid career that was ultimately derailed by injuries. Wizards fans will be hoping Dybantsa has a better tenure.

Some thought Peterson had the most talent in the class, but the guard missed 11 games during the season because of injuries and illness, potentially creating some questions that Dybantsa didn’t have.

In taking Wilson, the Bulls drafted a player from North Carolina in the first round for the third time. It worked out pretty well the first two times.

Chicago selected Michael Jordan with the No. 3 pick in 1984, and the Hall of Fame guard led the franchise to six NBA championships in the 1990s.

The Bulls took Coby White at No. 7 in 2019. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 15.4 points in six-plus seasons with the team before he was traded to Charlotte in February.

Many experts believed any possible chaos or surprises in the draft would start at the fifth pick or later, because Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson were widely considered to be the top four prospects.

With that No. 5 pick — which the Los Angeles Clippers acquired the rights to after a trade with the Indiana Pacers — the Clippers took Illinois guard Keaton Wagler. In his lone college season, in which he led the Fighting Illini to the Final Four, Wagler shot 40% from 3-point range, 80% from the foul line, and averaged 4.2 assists per game. But what might have tipped the scale for the Clippers was his size. He stands 6-foot-5 without shoes, making him one of the tallest guards in this draft class.

The draft host Brooklyn Nets then went with Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 6, and the Sacramento Kings went with Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. at No. 7. University of Houston point guard Kingston Flemings went to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 8.

The Dallas Mavericks created a reunion with the No. 9 pick by taking forward Morez Johnson Jr. from Michigan. Johnson was congratulated by national champion Michigan teammates Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara, who were also in the green room, and then hugged his old and new coach. Dusty May left the Wolverines to coach the Mavericks on the eve of the draft.

Lendeborg and Mara didn’t have to wait long for their turn. The Golden State Warriors took Lendenborg with the No. 11 pick and the Oklahoma City Thunder followed by going for the 7-3 Mara at No. 12.

The draft is always a celebration, when all teams have hope, but the cheers seemed even more frequent than usual. They began when Silver opened his remarks by hailing the Knicks and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, with a number of fans in Barclays Center wearing Knicks jerseys. Nets fans, who endured a miserable season watching the home team in the arena, applauded the selection of Brown, who had a 45-point performance to highlight his season that was cut short by a back injury.

The Bucks picked up two rookies. They took Arizona guard Brayden Burries with the No. 10 pick and are acquiring the rights to Tennessee forward Nate Ament, who was taken at No. 13 by Miami but is part of the package the Heat are sending to Milwaukee in the trade for Antetokounmpo that was agreed to Monday.

巴基斯坦总理：美伊谈判未涉及弹道导弹议题

巴基斯坦总理谢里夫说，伊朗和美国此前围绕谅解备忘录的谈判并未涉及弹道导弹议题。

新华社报道，谢里夫星期二（6月23日）在与到访的伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬共同出席记者会时说，在美伊这一谈判过程中，弹道导弹议题“从未摆上谈判桌”，也“从未被列入议程”，伊方从未同意对此进行任何讨论。

本月早些时候，美国与伊朗签署谅解备忘录之际，美国总统特朗普称，他不反对伊朗拥有弹道导弹，但以色列对此坚决反对。

谢里夫在记者会上也对日前在冲突中遇难的伊朗民众表示哀悼，并说巴基斯坦坚定与伊朗人民站在一起。

佩泽希齐扬对巴基斯坦在缓和地区局势所发挥的作用表示感谢，称巴方为维护地区稳定做出了“负责任且富有远见”的贡献。他也呼吁在西亚和海湾地区建立以对话、相互尊重和合作参与为基础的新型地区安全架构。

美国和以色列2月28日对伊朗发动大规模空袭，伊朗随即对美以在中东地区的军事基地等目标发起还击。相关方于4月8日达成临时停火。一段时间以来，巴基斯坦在美伊之间发挥调解作用。6月18日，美国和伊朗宣布远程签署谅解备忘录。
